The Clint functioned as a recon'Mech as well as a well-armed, lower-end, medium 'Mech. Its history and combat performance shows that it served those purposes well. The flight capability offered by the six jump jets on the Clint offer a nice advantage in many combat situations. In urban combat its building-leaping ability coupled with use of the death from above tactic can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Though many MechWarriors consider this tactic reckless, it still is a strong advantage that many larger 'Mechs do not have.
